I'm retired Cat mechanic, & I'm not a machinist, hydraulic system / power trains for Cat & for others types, Never worked on farming equipment, my grandfather used a model G A-C tractor, before that, Farmall. Pretty slick move, cutting that face back . milling the shaft down. I had a number of Pumps that were er marked Cat pumps sent to me. I'm 75. although Cat didn't manufacture their vain pumps, I got a lot of swash plate pumps that needed to be R&R, I had a test bench for transmissions and pumps., it's been over 30 years ago, This reminds me of a cat specs for a swash plate pump, in no way was it was going to meet specks the way it was said to set it up. in fact it was backwards, in short after a day of messing around, ordering & reordering. I had the inside of the head port for the buffer pin milled down, after that I was able to shim operating specks. Back in the day, Cat. manufactures do not always get it right. ether the factory is off, passing off to an outfit like cat something in the ball park, or missing the mark altogether. Frankly often missing the mark thinking I can save a buck here at your expense, put a coupler back in if possible. I see your J-D is a rather sophisticated machine. and your Mill right machinist is got it all handled. He's been this rout before. your walking ion tall cotton. The Lord Be with You All. I'm a believer. The Lord said he blesses the farmers who bless him. amen I may not be back this way, I have cancer, DEUT.. 11:V-13-15... Deut:...V-28:v-8... Jeremiah... 17:V-7-8......

We all can't wait to see this shucker repair+how it went hope it's working as I speak

[@bobblenuts]

I knew a couple of country guys who had machine shops back in the 60's who could do this kind of work. The best of it was they were usually very busy but always there to help out in an emergency. Go to a city machine shop and you'll probably see shop hours posted on the door, don't expect them to open up after hours when you need help! Nice shop, and Tim is my kind of guy. Great video, waiting to see that picker work. 👍

[@johnoneill5812]

You're blessed to have such good friends with all the machinery and know-how. Shane seems to be a lot more comfortable on camera when he is actually working on something that needs serious fixing rather than just sitting down for a chat.

[@DanPurdy1]

That full machine shop owned by a good machinist is great to see. Knowing what needs done and who to see about doing it is great. A semi-rural area makes for a place where you can get such things done.

[@shopart1488]

Molly, the entry to this video is fantastic very professional. The machine work on the transmission part also very cool. Farming must not be all meat and potatoes!! haha Love your videos, did I miss the Ohio trip or has it not aired yet??

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you so much! No the video hasn’t come out yet. I couldn’t get it done in a relatively quick time, so I have decided to save it until we slow down. It will be fun to go back and make that video, it will be like visiting with my dad again hahah

I am new to your channel but love your videos. I love that all of you are authentic and show the real details of working a farm like this. I enjoy learning about how you do the different crops, the storage, the machines, the repairs etc. Even though I'll probably never use any of this on my little five acre farm I love learning these things. I grow small nursery plants in containers these days. I've probably done over one hundred youtube videos and my style has always been like you, just candid, off the cuff and people love that. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching.

I like the mechanical issue that all farmers have to deal with whether large or small and the ability to deal with issues during harvesting, This just adds complesxity to the business of farming. When modern technology fails, Old School ways comes to the rescue. Farming is like going to Las Vegas. Not as easy as most believe. I also love the fact that farmers help other farmers.
